Optical illusions are images designed to trick our minds and can be a simple IQ test.

They test our understanding of reality, depth and perspective as we try to make sense of what lies ahead.

But remember that only those with the sharpest eyes and strong determination can succeed.

That's because this optical illusion makes even the most experienced puzzle solvers rack their brains.

And if you don't give your best, you'll likely follow them down the same path of failure.

Many online users are confused, while others are euphoric because they finally discovered the words.

Another added: “When I stopped trying to see it, I saw it. It took about 15 minutes though.”

One person cried out and said, “I've tried all the suggestions but I still can't see it. The driving I'm crazy, what does that say?!”
